MISSIONS & OUTREACH

At St. Andrew’s, mission is more than a program—it’s a way of life. Through our Missions and Outreach efforts, we partner with 13 impactful organizations locally, nationally, and globally. Together, we raise awareness, volunteer our time and talents, and provide donations throughout the year to meet real needs and share the love of Christ. Whether within our church walls or across the world, we are committed to being the hands and feet of Jesus in action.

Local Missions

We believe transformation begins at home. By serving local schools, shelters, food banks, and neighborhood initiatives, we live out Christ’s command to love our neighbors. Local missions allow us to be present where it matters most—right here in our city.

Global Missions 

Our call to serve doesn’t stop at state lines. Through partnerships with global ministries and long-term mission relationships, we support sustainable change, education, disaster relief, and faith-building efforts around the world. We serve globally because God’s love has no boundaries.

Missions Trips

Missions trips deepen our faith and broaden our understanding of God’s kingdom. Whether traveling to another state or another country, these experiences connect us to the heart of service, build unity, and allow us to walk alongside others with humility, grace, and purpose.

Real Stories, Real Impact

​Mike Freid

Meals on Wheels Volunteer

This wonderful man always has his garage door open for me and welcomes me into his house, he gratefully accepts the meal I brought to him, and I listen to his weekly update. Thanks to Meals on Wheels for bringing this man, his wife, and the dozens of other people I have met into my life.  Every one of them has been a blessing to me in one way or another.  Every one of them gives me a reason to pray with thanks, for grace ... and often both. 

Nancy Knight

Food Pantry Volunteer

Just about everyone that comes through tells us thank you and how grateful they are for this ministry and how much it means to them.  I know each of us feels blessed that we are able to show our desire to follow Jesus by serving in this way.  Food is not the only thing we offer.  Value is in the conversations we sometimes have with the recipients.  

Mareda Kennedy

Vitality Respite Center Volunteer

I've been volunteering with Vitality for over a year now. To see the smiles as we greet the arrival of each guest, to feel the laughter bubble up as we play games, and hear the "wow's" when we create something beautiful (or a little bit crazy) during craft time... that's joy! I look forward to each time we meet, to the meaningful connections and friendships formed with each other. I feel God's presence and blessings abound.
